| ______________________________________ [Jan 4,2009 12:18am - the_reverend ""] if you like all out war, check out 100 demons. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jan 4,2009 12:48am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I'm not going to limit this to old school... Breakdown, Integrity, Ringworm, Slapshot, Warzone, Madball, Mushmouth, Out To Win, Black Flag (maybe not really hardcore, but they're amazing nonetheless). Another band to check out in the vein of AOW is Arkangel; more on the Slayer-core side of things, but they were the fucking shit. |
| _______________________________ [Jan 4,2009 12:59am - Pires ""] I remember arkangel. Not too pleasantly though. Kinda meh. |

| __________________________________________ [Jan 4,2009 12:48pm - MillenialKingdom ""] I've heard of probably 65% of the bands you guys listed, like Biohazard, D.R.I., Agnostic Front, Terror, 100 Demons, etc. Those are the big names. I'm looking for more obscure stuff, I guess. |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 4,2009 12:49pm - MillenialKingdom ""] I've been downloading: Coalesce Integrity Youth of Today 25 Ta Life Minor Threat Jesus Wept Overcome |

| _____________________________ [Jan 4,2009 7:31pm - Lamp ""] Okay, so rather than go specifically by bands, I'll list some labels that I think put out some great stuff by great bands. http://www.myspace.com/nowayrecordshc No Way Records out of Richmond, VA. Puts out a lot of very old school sounding releases by bands like Direct Control, Government Warning, Double Negative, Cardiac Arrest, Wasted Time, Life Trap, etc. http://www.myspace.com/sixdub Six Weeks Records, from the Bay Area of CA. Focuses a lot more on international acts and bands that kick the speed up a notch, maybe go into the depths of grind. They also released the LP Municipal Waste made before signing to Earache. Sticking more to the hardcore side, I'd say go with Capitalist Casualties, Hellnation, Voetsek, SMD, Charles Bronson, Voorhees, and Slight Slappers(from just looking at the top friends anyway). http://www.625thrash.com 625 Thrash also from the Bay Area of CA. This is another dude who likes it fast as fuck and will also release a lot of international grind but tends to focus on bands just starting out or bands that seem to be overlooked instead of putting out records by bands that have established themselves somewhat already. Of the new stuff I see he's putting out, I'd take a look into Hatred Surge, Discarga, and SFN for sure, and if you want some grind, Max has released pretty much the entire Insect Warfare discography and they blow the crap out of pretty much anything else in modern day. http://www.myspace.com/cowabungarex Cowabunga Records, it says on his page he lives in California, I guess I don't know where though. This guy has put out releases by my two favorite bands right now, Weekend Nachos(very evil) and Hummingbird of Death(one of the fastest bands to ever exist). Aside from that he's put out some Funeral Shock and ANS which are pretty damn good bands, more on the punk rock side than hardcore but it all jams. And a great way to find out about new bands... http://www.myspace.com/thisisforyoufest This Is For You Fest, they have this the last weekend of the year, usually it's in Daytona Beach but in 2008 they decided to have it in Orlando. Some of the bands are more modern sounding, some of them are older sounding. The lineup doesn't seem to change drastically throughout the years but there are plenty of bands playing different styles. In addition to anything that's been said already in this post, from the lineup this year I'd recommend checking out Coke Bust(started out a bit older sounding but has gone more to the fastcore side, has Chris from Magrudergrind on drums), Seasick(old sounding, kind of surfy I suppose), Shitstorm(punk grind from Miami), Mehkago NT(consists of a lot of the Shitstorm guys, sounds crustier), I Hate This(fastcore type stuff, female fronted), and Control De Estado(lyrics in Spanish). Since you seem to be into modern stuff more so than a lot of the stuff I prefer to listen to, I'd say check out Mammoth Grinder, Surroundings, and Learn Nothing. |

Most of those bands I can never figure out exactly how to categorize, even though that doesn't really matter too much. |
| _____________________________ [Jan 4,2009 8:06pm - Lamp ""] That is what the term "thrashcore" was invented for. Basically, since the word hardcore has been stolen by people who have nothing to do with the punk scene, people are referring to hardcore punk simply as "thrash". But to not confuse themselves with the metal scene, the core suffix was added to it and voila. |

(25 ta life, earth crisis, etc.) is not....it's wigger slam before the blastbeats....this crap evolved into victory records, which evolved into wigger slam dm..... it's not real hardcore, any more than cradle of filth is real black metal. just my opinion |

All bands that are or were sick. |

| _____________________________________ [Jan 5,2009 1:37pm - joeyumbrella ""] seems everyone is biased to their "type of core" to say earth crisis wasn't hardcore, and is "wiggercore" is gay (complete offense intended... LOVE YOU ORGY!!!!!!!) forced march/firestorm was awesome fucking hardcore |
